09 Aug Making the Cut: Part 1

Posted at 06:52h in Fashion Sewing by goodbyevalentino 36 Comments

Many thanks to the readers who suggested I write a post about the clothes that made the cut when we moved. Her suggestion compelled me to study the good, the bad and the ugly of my sewing and style choices. I surprised myself after this exercise and recommend it! Who wants to give something away that you've spent hours making? Some of my makes were great learning experiences, while others remain wardrobe favorites. Maybe you've had similar sewing experiences! Before I start, I have a question...

07 Oct Van Gogh Inspired

Posted at 06:21h in Fashion Sewing by goodbyevalentino 30 Comments

If I'm in a city with Van Gogh paintings, I will always make time to see them. I guess it was no surprise that the first piece of fabric which caught my eye at Honolulu's Kaimuki Dry Goods was a delightful knit with colors reminiscent of Van Gogh's Olive Trees, Almond Branches and Wheatfield paintings, among others.   We're not in Honolulu anymore Toto, and I'm nowhere near a Van Gogh, but I can carry a little of both with me in my latest. Greetings from Edisto. Originally, I envisioned making a Polynesian inspired maxi, but given the current state of my life and the world, I...
